Bethany, Matilda, Violet. Thoughts on these names for DD2?

Is Bethany boring? This is DH's fave
Is Violet too 'faddy' and hard to say?
Is Matilda too popular?

And thoughts on a middle name - perhaps Florence? Or others?

Any other suggestions welcome. Thank you in advance

I really like Bethany. I think out of the three it will age well whereas the other two may become a bit dated as they have spiked in popularity so much over the last couple years. X

My DD is Bethany and I LOVE it. It's not common (we've not encountered another one in school/clubs etc so far) but no so unusual as to sound odd. It flows resit nicely with loads of middle names and surnames too.

FWIW I also loved Violet for similar reasons. I do feel Matilda is a bit more commonly seen at the moment, she could end up one of many!

Bethany or Violet.

Matilda.

I like Violet too.

I've always strongly disliked Bethany.

Bethany Matilda.
I think Eleanor and Bethany sound lovely together.
